III. And be
it enacted, That the said commissioners, in case any plot or plots
of road or roads laid out under the act to which this is a supplement
shall have
been lost, and not returned as directed by the said act, either before

said road or roads had been reviewed and fixed, the said commissioners
of review
shall, in any manner to which to them shall seem best, make out new
plots, and
return the same in the manner directed under the original acts to which
this is a
supplement; provided, that nothing herein contained shall be so construed

or
other, have been lost.
IV. And be it
enacted, That the said commissioners of review shall meet on

a reasonable
excuse, to be approved of by the commissioners attending, the said

proceed to appoint a new commissioner of review in the place of the
person so
failing to attend as aforesaid.

offence.

WHEREAS a number of the inhabitants of Baltimore-town, by their
petition to the general assembly have set forth, that for the want
of
convenient wharfs at the west end of Baltimore-town, that part of
said town is deprived of many advantages which it would otherwise enjoy,
and
therefore prayed that a law might pass granting the proprietors of
water lots
permission to extend and wharf out the same.
II. Be it therefore
enacted, by the General Assembly of Maryland, That each
and every of the proprietors of lots binding on and entitled to the
privileges of
the water, at the west end of Baltimore-town, between Pratt-street
and Forest-street,
shall be and are hereby permitted to wharf out, extend and improve,
the
whole front of their several lots respectively, and for such distance
as from time
to time they may think fit, until they intersect the east side of a
line drawn from
the east side of Light-street to the east side of Forest-street; provided
the
whole front of each proprietor's lot on said be extended, and no dock
or vacant
space left on part thereof. |

Proprietors
may wharf
out, &c. |
